Could C-Section Babies Be More Prone to Obesity?

Posted: Updated:

Harvard researchers say C-section babies may be twice as likely to become obese by the age of three.

Experts believe C-section babies do not receive certain nutrients from the mother which may raise the risk of obesity.

Cesarean deliveries make up about one-third of US births.

Studies show those children may also have a higher risk of asthma and allergies.
